Do you have any phobias?
 

I personally am really really freaked out by needles. Whenever i get an injection or a blood test i can't look at the needle itself go into my skin otherwise ill faint. its really irrational and stupid but w/e. I'm also kinda terrified of spiders. wbu?

Clowns and spiders, both dreadful things

Its not a phobia as such but I cannot abide velvet or coarse felt. It makes me shiver to touch it. I also would hate to get my nails cut and then touch velvet. vile

:shudder:

That's really weird, I had that as a child. My old Doris had a velvet coat and especially my nails going near it gave me the heeby-jeebies.

I've mentioned that to a few people over the years, and they've all treated me like I just escaped from somewhere, so I'm glad I wasn't the only one!

Also, heights. I ****ing hate heights. Just playing Assassins Creed used to make my hands sweat as i climbed those towers.

the worst thing is that hideous green stuff that flower arrangers use - flower foam

i could not bear to handle that

Dark, spiders, mushrooms and the open sea.

Only vomit. **** knows why..its odd really.

Loads on holiday a few years ago

Unless I've misunderstood your question and you're asking me for the slang term, in which case I've seen a lot of snakes in my life

being afraid of water, heights, dangerous animals is not so much a phobia as natural selection

the humans who were not died out thousands of years ago

its normal

None. I was frightened of spiders as a child but I can pick them up now.

Not really... some slight fears but nothing extreme enough to call a phobia.

RileyH I guess

Heights and snakes. Human snakes and snake snakes

Big house spiders (even though I have a pet tarantula that does not phase me in the slightest, odd)
Cats
Vomit (myself spewing or being around people who have a bug or something)
Falling from heights
Wasps

I think fear of getting sick tops them all though (I don't mean like common stuff, I mean serious illness).

Someone explained it in a post on a previous version of a thread like this, where there's this phenomenon where you're really intimidated by giant things... like my idea of pure hell would be being at sea and then a whale swims underneath the boat, or being stranded and a ****-off-massive-cruise ship comes out of nowhere.

Ah I just found it: Ashley. posted about it before. It's called megalophobia. Things like giant clouds / pyroclastic clouds coming at you (I think that's a pretty fair thing to fear, though), underwater wreckage, wind-farms... *shudder*
